Find Culinary and Cooking Degree Programs

For culinary training you may want to seek out a program that has campus facilities. The Art Institutes have many locations that provide those courses. At the center of the culinary and cooking business, chefs in top quality kitchens have achieved some level of certification by the American Culinary Federation (ACF). Certification levels include master chef, pastry chef, culinary educator and other levels of training. In order to become certified, you will need to take courses with classroom and kitchen training. The classroom credits can be earned online, and the training in the kitchen can be obtained through an accredited institution or through an internship program.

One of the most important skills learned through culinary classes provides the business knowledge that allows cooks to move out of the kitchen and into a food service management job or even open their own business. Culinary school graduates look forward to earning a job managing a restaurant or hotel facility. The larger companies look for formal training in their management candidates, and there is no better place to start than through on of the many accredited online culinary colleges.
